TikTok: The Overnight Success Factor

Have you ever wondered what it must feel like to go 0 to 100? The thrill, the rush, sitting on the edge of exclusivity? 

Well for many TikTokers, this has become the reality for the masses…

Setting trends and asking questions later

According to CNN, “the way TikTok’s algorithm works, learning users’ interests and preferences in real time as they interact with content, it’s not unusual for videos created by everyday people to suddenly get millions of views as they are pushed into users’ feeds. This has created a new equation for fame, like what we saw with TikTok predecessor Vine, where a single viral video can rocket someone into the spotlight overnight. 

Countless times we see content creators, what seems to be overnight, blow up from just a single video. Long ago were the days of spending countless hours behind the camera trying to create the “It” factor. Sometimes all it takes is a surge in searches and “viola” you’ve struck a literal gold mine.

From rags to riches

There used to be a time when content creation only consisted of a specific theme and was marketed to a certain niche. Now you can market any and everything to everyone. With the help of algorithms that continuously learn its users likes and dislikes, your content can be viewed by millions. NerdWallet lists 7 ways to get paid from TikTok including:

1. Market your business and attract new clients

2. Score sponsorships

3. Tap TikTok’s ‘Creativity Program’ 

4. Use gifting

5. Sell with TikTok Shop

6. Monetize using the Series feature

7. Collect tips from viewers

If the spotlight and fame was ever your dream, the time is now.
